UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE ALLEN T. HUTSON, OF RICHMOND, INDIANA.

PO RTABLE H EATER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 59,397, dated November 6, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALLEN T. HU'rsoN, of Richmond, Wayne county, Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Heaters; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact de scription of the same, reference being bad to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and the letters of reference marked thereon, like letters indicating like parts.

In the'drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a heater with boiler attached. Fig. 2 is a view of a heater with the furnacepan. Figs. 3, 4, 5, and 6 are views of a heater and its pipes and attachments, as will hereinafter be described.

The nature of my invention consists in an arrangement for using charcoal as a substitute for spirits in portable heaters, as is now generally employed.

To enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe the construction and operation of the same.

In Fig. 1, A is the heater-frame. B is a boiler, fitting close upon the rim of the heat er-frame A and movable. Near the rim of the heater-frame a pipe, 0, is attached, as shown at D, of a suflicient'height to produce the required draft, where it is turned down in the direction of the arrows F F, and continued under the bottom of the heaterframe A, as shown at 0, Fig. 5, thence up through the heater-frame and furnace-pan G and ash-pan N.

Near the top of the pipe 0 is a valve, E, for the escape of the smoke and gas when it is requisite, but when closed forces the same down through the pipe and into the furnacepan, where it is consumed by being brought in contact with the fire.

The ash-pan N, Fig. 4, is provided with legs I 1, to allow a sufficient space for draft, and a portion of its periphery constructed with openings J, to admit air under the furnace-pan G.

The bottom of the heater-frame A is provided with openings for the admission of air, fitted with a sliding plate, L, with corresponding openings opposite those in the heaterframe, and which may be closed by the operation of the sliding plate operated by the handle M.

The furnace-pan G is provided with an opening, 0, in the upper portion of its rim, as seen in Fig. 6, corresponding with the mouth of the pipe (3, for the escape of the smoke and In Fig. 4, Kis a tube, permanently attached to the bottom of the ash-pan N, and inoasing that portion of the pipe U within the heaterframe A.

Fig. 6 shows a view of theinternal arrange.- ment of the heater, showing the ash pan N, furnace-pan G, and case K, the dotted lines 00 representing the heater-frame.

Having thus fully described my said improvement, what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The pipe 0, arranged with the valve E, terminating in the furnace-pan G, for the purposes set forth.

2. The ash-pan N and the furnace-pan G, in

combination with the pipe 0, all arranged and operated as described.

3. The arrangement and combination ofthe boiler B, heater-frame A, furnace-pan. Gr, pipe U, and valve E, all as and for the purpose herein described. V
